The net proceeds of the Offering will be used by the Corporation for general corporate purposes and to execute its corporate strategy by investing in or acquiring large international oil and gas assets.

In certain instances, the Corporation may pay finder's fees to eligible persons ("Finders") on a portion of the Offering consisting of a cash payment equal to 6% of gross proceeds raised from applicable subscriptions in the Offering and the issuance of finder's warrants ("Finder's Warrants") equal to 6% of the gross proceeds raised from applicable subscriptions in the Offering. Each Finder's Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one additional Common Share at a price of $0.50 for a period of 12 months from the closing date of the Offering (the "Closing Date").
